I agree. The dude is huge. He could easily be in his own custom suit of Termy armour.

Um, most of your Inquisitor examples are written by a guy re-purposing his old scripts for 40K and in general only having loose interest in any adherence to 40K canon (like throwing in lightsabers because he thought it was cool). When you look at all other Inquisitors, Vail, Greyfax, Adrastia, Rex, Coteaz, Lok, they all overwhelmingly have access to PA and if anything, it's the Inquisitors who don't have access to one that are unfluffy or just really bad at their job.

An Inquisitor MAY requisition an army of SOP or Marines, but it is not done lightly. Power armour is not 'constantly' being made, its not a mass produced process. If it was theyd be giving power armour out to guardsmen. You can try to justify it in whatever way you please but it doesn't make it true.


On a different note, what kind of options do the Inquisition have, weapon wise? Im hoping there's a lot of variety but I imagine I may be disappointed

Like many are talking in other threads about scales of genocide, I think it is important to think about scales of mass production. Carapace armor isn’t produced on the same scale as flak armor, but by goodness it’s available just about everywhere.
There are most certainly planets that only pump out power armor for the Sisters of Battle. The Sisters are probably the most common power armored fighting force in the Imperium, with armored forces being available in every sector, if not sub-sector, in at least some capacity.
If you have the resources, you can get power armor.

If the truth can destroy it, then it deserves to be destroyed.

An Inquisitor is not a guardsman! FFS, you're being absurdly obtuse.

And, I think they lost a few things, like the null rod. That would still be playable with index rules, right?

However, if you're talking rarity- then on the very off chance you happen to stumble onto an Inquisitor... then you're just as likely to see him waving around some kind of weapon of equal rarity.

Pretty sure it was a joke as the guy he quoted was arguing against Inquisitors having common access to power armor.... "because its rare" and then switched gears to ask about weapons, with the sarcastic joke response you quoted... saying "most weapons are rare. They should just have lasguns"

Not sure if its been linked, but the rules have more less been leaked on the War of Sigmar blog:
https://war-of-sigmar.herokuapp.com/bloggings/4282

I mean, I guess its good all the inquisitors got a base 5++ invuln (I would hope so given how they can requisition everything), still baffled why only Ordo Malleus Inquisitors can take Terminator Armour. The relics are a bit wonky IMO, and its disappointing you can't take dual pistol acolytes. Otherwise, I guess its better than nothing.

I'm not sure to understand one thing : if I use Eisenhorn's Malus Codicium ability, do I need to take a detachment slot for the Daemonhost and do I need to pay his points?

I'd say yes but it's far from clear for me.

I do adore that the second we go from weird contortion armor that everyone always without fail complains about an makes little paint drawings showing what the shape of the human inside it would have to be to something that makes much more sense (little human operating big robot suit) people complain about it and want it to go back.

Their gun can be any of the pistols, any of the combi-weapons plus Condemnor Boltgun, Storm Bolter, any of the standard special weapons, or an Incinerator. Terminator Inquisitors can also have psycannons.

Their chainsword can be any of the standard special weapons, power fist, thunder hammer or a force weapon if they're a psyker. Termie inquisitors get nemesis daemon hammers.

Not too shabby as weapon lists go, basically stayed at index levels of customization.

I suggest reading the lore (beyond the tabletop), not just taking a glance. It is 100% not 'nonsense'. Im not saying that Inquisitors should not be allowed the option, but in fluff terms it makes a lot of sense. Im wondering whether they chose to keep it to named characters so as to make them more appealing. Generally only greatly experienced, battlefront or Lord Inquisitors will have access to power armour, and unlike many think, it is not common. Each suit has to be crafted to the wearers exact specifications, and unlike SM power armour it is not as mobile, can be somewhat of a hindernce and has a more limited power supply. An Inquisitors role does not always see them taking to the battlefield, they are not purely intended for frontline combat, but SOME do have access to powered armour.

It is common enough to be included even though being relatively rare in universe. Just like Jokaeros, terminator armours, daemon weapons, and indeed the Inquisitors themselves. Entire orders of SoB can be equipped with PA, it is pretty trivial for an Inquisitor to get one if they need it; they gave access to much rarer stuff. As for the novels, they're often about Inquisitors investigating stuff alone or with a small retinue; it is a bit different situation than an Inquisitor leading an army on the battlefield.

You are aware this is all made up, I hope? I mean, if I want to say "yeah, my inquisitor now takes off his wolf tshirt and underneath is POWER ARMOUR, then its perfectly okay to do so. Its a fictional setting!

Take a force sword and a storm bolter. The force sword has much the same stats as the rod and being a psyker actually lets you defend yourself against psychic powers (the null rod didn't do anything at all).

And the storm bolter has all the power of a condemnor but also works against non-psyker targets, because the condemnor is a waste of ink.

Condemnor is still in. Surprisingly enough, I don’t want this Hereticus Inquisitor to be a psyker, just for his character’s sake, especially when he’s working with the aforementioned groups. Mechanically, those are better, but it’s for the character.

Isn’t Condemnor just a Bolter that does potentially extra damage against psykers? It still works on regular folks.

Millions of Sisters of Battle too - plus all those Engineseers etc. Of course its mass produced and constantly being made.

Plus Inqusitiors should have access to Artifcer armour - as thats what several wear in the lore when in high intensity combat.

In the 40k universe I can see this being a brute force method with tens of millions of techpriests on each work on 1 suite of power armor at a time, and when that is finished start on another one. Who cares if it takes 30 years to make each suite if you have 5,000 being completed every day. That would take 54.75 million techpriests btw, which seems like a insane number to us, but I can see the Imperium doing that, honestly I could see multiple individual forgeworlds doing that by themselves.
I wouldn't exactly call that Mass Produced, but I would call it "Produced in Mass"

Spot on. Also Tyrus isnt your typical Inquisitor (he's the only Inquisitor in the Inquisitor rulebook that had power armour, but dont let that stop you...). If power armour was mass produced for Inquisitors then theyd all have it, like marines and Sisters, but it isnt, so they dont. And if they did, theyd have it in White Dwarf, as the guys who wrote the Inquisition CA are the rules and lore writers... .

Spot on. Also Tyrus isnt your typical Inquisitor (he's the only Inquisitor in the Inquisitor rulebook that had power armour, but dont let that stop you...). If power armour was mass produced for Inquisitors then theyd all have it, like marines and Sisters, but it isnt, so they dont. And if they did, theyd have it in White Dwarf, as the guys who wrote the Inquisition CA are the rules and lore writers... .



Or, to put it another way, he's a full 1/3 of all the Inquisitors in the book? (IIRC). Anyway, I haven't read most of this thread, I just really like that character and that pic of him in particular. And I think it's explicit in many canonical sources that Inquisitors can have anything that they want, including power armour, and Gun-cutter gunships, even if they're on the edge of going rogue.

Sorry if this has been covered but can henchmen get carapace in this version?

No carapace, no grenade launchers, and no shotguns either.
